Abstract and Modernism

"Artists sought to break convention and stretch their talents. They wished to explore landscapes, figures and even emotional content using a variety of methods. The early part of the twentieth century saw the rise of many new interpretations of the canvas, including Surrealism, Futurism, Modernism, Bauhaus, Cubism and Abstract Expressionism.

Impressive colorfield painting by Leonard Nelson (1912-1993) entitled "A Joy is Forever". Acquired directly from the Nelson estate, this was a special painting for them and for obvious reasons. Nelson's colorfields were an abstract interpretation of a landscape using the vibrant colors of nature with fluid brush strokes.
